P0452n03_007_002: QUAD OF PEOPLE: Evans and Sutherland is people … People designing and building computers for highly specialized applications …

P0452n03_007_003: QUAD OF SYSTEMS PIX: Computer graphics systems to create images … Images for research, design, entertainment and training. All of these things are Evans and Sutherland.

P0452n03_007_004: EARLY IVAN S.: It began at MIT in the early 1960's when Ivan Sutherland developed and published "sketchpad,” his landmark approach to interactive computer modeling for engineering design. His theory paved the way to use a computer for sketching an image on a CRT.

P0452n03_007_005: EARLY DAVE E.: Independently, Dave Evans was developing his own complimentary ideas on computer—aided problem solving.

P0452n03_007_006: EARLY DAVE and IVAN: Dr. Evans concentrated on continuous—tone images, while Dr. Sutherland worked on 3—D, real—time graphics. In 1968 they pooled their resources and created their own company to build user—friendly, interactive computer graphics systems.

P0452n03_007_007: OLD BARRACKS: With adequate venture capital, their dream became a reality as the company began operations with six employees in an army bat tacks on the University of Utah campus.
